Evaluating Resources
Evaluate Websites - Purpose
Like books and articles, you should always consider the purpose
of a website before using it as a resource. To determine the purpose of the website, ask yourself the following:
- What is the stated or implied purpose of the site?
Is the purpose to inform, explain,
or supply facts and data?
Such sites may be useful.
Is the purpose to promote, sell, disclose, entice, or rant? These sites need close
scrutiny.
- Does the site have a "hidden" purpose?
Some sites might seem that they intend to inform the public, but actually try to sway opinion. Be on the lookout for hidden agendas!
